@Yen, I have a similar problem. The first time I did the mod I've used your latest tool and I've inserted the string Dell Computer and XP didnt activate. So I edited the the XP_SLP.INI to Dell System, but XP didnt activate again. What is going wrong ?
Hi Petar, AMI_SLIC put SLP string 'Dell System' just after SLIC table, this work for 2003 server or Home server Dell, but not for XP Here is the memory place where you MUST put this SLP string : 'f000','e076','0010','Dell System' 'f000','49a9','0010','Dell System' 'f000','e05e','0010','Dell System' This work for server because : 'f000','0000','ffff','Dell System' For your problem with @VJOE Ask him to dump a part of this bios at address 'f000','e076' or 'f000','49a9' or 'f000','e05e' to find a reference and put this SLP string !
OK, thanks for the info. But what strings are needed to be added to the BIOS for XP activation. And are those adresses offset in the OEM files, phisical memory while douing a mod with modbin6, or offset adresses at the bios or some bios module ?
'Dell System' is the string to insert in the bios at the memory address : 'f000','e076' or 'f000','49a9' or 'f000','e05e' and max 10 lenght This is address in the bios after is was in memory, so you need a reference from people who would this SLP to find where in the bios file you must put the string. For HP or some others, no problem, the range is f000:0000 and ffff lenght so anywhere in the bios, and this should work.
